  • Publication number: 20140213244
    Abstract: Without introducing a complicated ad hoc network system, a transmission/reception signal of a mobile station apparatus is relayed using a communication protocol and a wireless access method defined in a current LTE standard. In a wireless relay communication system including a base station apparatus (12a), a mobile station apparatus (10a), and a wireless station apparatus (11a), the wireless station apparatus (11a) receives a mode switching control signal to switching a mode either to a mobile station apparatus mode in which the wireless station apparatus communicates as one mobile station apparatus (10a) with the base station apparatus (12a) or to a relay station apparatus mode in which the wireless station apparatus relays communication between the base station apparatus (12a) and the mobile station apparatus (10a).

  • Publication number: 20140198759
    Abstract: A mobile station (MS) transmits, to a base station (BS), uplink data on a PUSCH, the PUSCH is assigned by using a PDCCH. The MS receives, from the BS, a radio resource control signal including first information instructing the MS to periodically transmit first reception quality information (RQI), the radio resource control signal including second information for determining an amount of resources for second RQI transmitted on the PUSCH, and third information instructing the MS to transmit the second RQI on the PUSCH; and transmits, to the BS, only the second RQI on the PUSCH in a case that the transmission of the first RQI which is instructed by using the first information and the transmission of the second RQI which is instructed by using the third information would occur at the same time, wherein the amount of resources for the second RQI is determined based on the second information.

  • Publication number: 20140133398
    Abstract: In a mobile communication system including a plurality of RATs (Radio Access Technologies), the necessity of a control channel for notifying RAT information is eliminated, and the lack of capacity of the control channel can be avoided. In a mobile station 30 communicating with base stations employing the different RATs by employing the respective RATs, when the mobile station executes procedures for registration to an LTE (Long-term evolution) base station 10-2 which allows access to only registered mobile stations that are registered in advance, the mobile station obtains, from a HSS (Home Subscriber Server) 40 tied to the LTE base station 10-2, information of another base station that performs communication by employing the RAT different from that used by the LTE base station 10-2.
